Did it ever occur to you guys that they may not have been removed because of a vocal minority but as part of a bigger move to make the sport more appealing to a wider audience? Perhaps execs were thinking more of the greater female audience offput by masculine culture than the smaller audience crying sexism that would probably never watch it anyway.

what was off putting about how things were done before?

I'm not a woman, but if my favorite sport was full of guys whose primary purpose was to stand around and look pretty, maybe flaunt their bulge or asses or whatever, I'd probably be off put by it. Doesn't have to be sexist or anything to negatively affect a demographic's enjoyment.
